Catalyst | A substance that speeds a chemical reaction without being consumed or significantly changed. |
Nuclear Fission | The process by which a nucleus is split into two or more fragments releasing neutrons and massive amounts of energy. |
Rate of Reaction | The speed at which new substances are created or broken down. |
Decomposition Reaction | A reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances. |
Surface Area | The available space with which a substance can react. |
Double-Replacement Reaction | A reaction where the exchange of atoms or ions between two compounds occur producing a gas, water or a precipitate. |
Nuclear Fusion | The process by which lighter nuclei combine to form heavier nuclei releasing massive amounts of energy. |
Reactant | The starting substances in a chemical reaction. |
